Pros: Right size, maximum portability, feeling of robustness, very intuitive menu, comfortable grip as per Nikon tradition, very high-performance autofocus, memory diagram compartment not shared with the battery.

Cons: Not exactly performing battery, absence of stabilization, only one memory slot.

Opinion: Very successful camera. Very portable and built really well with great autofocus. Also perfect for those who want to start. I found a specimen for just over six hundred euros with very few shots and at the time purchased from the dealer in December 2025 as per the receipt: practically new! Proof of the fact that we are forced to fall back on very dated models. Only one battery slot and type of battery not very durable, but I was already aware of it before proceeding with the purchase. Had it had all these merits usually relegated to high-end models, this Nikon Z50 II we would have found it in the high-end of Nikon full frame. In the past I had fuji models that I reluctantly resold to switch to more performing models on the autofocus side. The fuji world is wonderful and the possibility of playing with film simulations with the advantage of JPEGs already beautiful and ready but if you don't give me a lightning-fast autofocus what do I do with all this? Like having a beautiful car, with beautiful colors but slow compared to the competition. And please don't tell me that this gives me more time and calm to meditate, compose and enjoy the pleasure of photography. I love to stop, compose, take my time but when I shoot please want the af to hook up right away! I don't care that I have plenty of time to try again and try again. I don't want to! But then why?, when today's technology allows me to have more performing things! Well done Nikon!

Pros: Size and weight, autofocus, ISO tightness, burst

Cons: Battery life, sensor not stabilized, no lock button on the ring to select the mode. Video side: 4K at 60fps only with crop, stabilization only with crop

Opinion: Switching from D7500 to Z50 II I immediately appreciated its small size and weight, with the quality of the file identical if not superior (the ISO tightness is better). For my needs it is perfect, often taking the camera on mountain hikes or other outdoor activities, the combination with the kit 16-50 lens is unbeatable. The telephoto 50-250 supplied in kit is also very compact and with this lens the camera is still smaller in size, for example, than the D7500 + Tokina 11-16 2.8 combo. If you need portability, that's a lot of stuff. The construction instead gives a more entry-level feel. Given the size of the camera it can also fit, but, for example, a lock button on the ring to select the shooting mode would be appreciated, especially considering that it is quite loose and moves easily. The AF is very good and also allows you to select the subject you are photographing (people, animals, birds...), making it even faster than the automatic subject recognition mode. The battery life, on the other hand, as expected is quite poor (even considering the standards of mirrorless), better to equip yourself with a second spare battery. For non-professional use, I consider the absence of a second SD card slot to be irrelevant. Overall a great machine.

Pros: Absurd file quality, ergonomics, electronics, weight

Cons: AF not suitable for birdlife

Opinion: I state that I come from decades of D800 D850 and Nikon 1.4 lenses, Zeiss Apo and sigma Art, and tried all the Nikon APSCs but I don't work with photography. The Z50II represents a truly epochal change of pace in my opinion as the quality of the files is exaggerated, it is literally indistinguishable in 99% of the shots from that of a modern full frame such as the Z8 or D850, they have the same pixel pitch and the sensor of the little girl is supported by respectable electronics that manage to keep the detail very high and the noise very low even at 6400 ISO, modern NR software does the rest. The fact that I then have an excellent range of lenses both Nikon and viltrox, both FX and DX, completes the picture and in terms of cost, size, weight, and optical quality for me it is Bingo. So much so that the little one together with a couple of viltrox air and some Nikon Z has completely replaced the D850 in landscape, street, portraits and macro. Obviously everything has a limit and the little girl does not have the AF of the Z8 and D850 and in birdlife she struggles and loses too many shots for the slowness with which she hooks the subjects especially in itinerant hunting between trees and bushes (obviously if you photograph the usual bird on the artificial perch on a tripod it's fine). Which is why D850 and 500pf are still preferred. For all the rest of the situations it is a very solid AF, perfect and very fast face recognition. The battery lasts for several shooting sessions, even more than 5-600 shots, if you set viewfinder priority. For light outings I use it without a shoulder strap but with the wrist strap. I also added the small rig plate which gives just 1cm more grip. Lots of customizable buttons, very easy and intuitive menu. Finally, I repeat that the RAW files it churns out are beautiful and very easy to work with, no longer having to carry around kg and kg of lenses and maintaining 98-99% of the final quality of the photo is a turning point for me (and I am obsessed with resolution and colors) Obviously in optimal conditions such as in the mountains or in places with little pollution D850 and Z8 maintain an advantage

Pros: Compact, weight, buttons, responsive AF

Cons: Lack of stabilization, mechanical shutter, lack of sensor protection curtain when the machine is off

Opinion: Taken to have an APSC to accompany the Z8 and to be exploited for itinerant birdlife with the Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 or the Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 and the two Nikon Z TC 1.4 and 2.0. Tired of waiting for the heir to the legendary D500 that I had and exploited with satisfaction, looking at the characteristics of this little one I realized that, although not an heir to the D500, it had similar if not better characteristics. The burst of 11 frames per second exceeds that of the D500, the AF with its various modes and subject recognition is for me more responsive and easier to manage. The number of buttons and dials all customizable, the Nikon menus practically the same as the Z8, the tropicalization. Finally, the limited weight that with the two fixed canvases mentioned make it a killer combo for itinerant photographic hunting. In short, I am very satisfied with it and I am quickly getting the hang of it. For the battery, mainly using the viewfinder, I set the Priority settings to viewfinder 1, so that when I don't have my eye in front of the sensor the same (energy-intensive) is off: with a battery and moderate bursts of 2/3 shots, I took home more than 500 shots before a recharge, added to the time used for the settings in the menus and the predisposition of the three user banks I would say that they give me an excellent result. Having taken a second original battery, his duty will do it to my great satisfaction. I specify that the technical sheet contains errors: - Long exposure : it exists, the time is adjustable up to 9000s (15min), activating the selection from the menu - Pixel Shift : it is present (which makes me suppose that the IBIS is also present, otherwise how could it work ?). Its presence forces the use of NX Studio, but allows you to have wide-angle lenses starting from FX - Focus Staking lenses: present and adjustable exactly like on the Z8 It will remain in my kit until the presentation of a Z80 / Z500, then it will become the ML school for the granddaughter.

Pros: Compactness, ergonomics, lightness, autofocus speed

Cons: No IBIS, just enough battery

Opinion: It's my first mirrorless, I was undecided between this one and the Nikon ZFC. I preferred it for a matter of ergonomics and grip (too bad for the absence of dedicated dials to have a retro look). The grip is well pronounced and the compactness and low weight with the kit 16-50 lens (it looks like a pancake) make me prefer it to a Full Frame camera to take on a trip. Very powerful autofocus even on moving subjects. Too bad for the lack of stabilization in the camera body (a matter of marketing) and the battery life just enough (I took 2 additional batteries especially for travel).
